In the near future, Sammie has to confront demons both literal (think mysterious sea creature gobbling up friends) and personal (think said friends who don't understand your gender and sexual identity). Lubchansky has a great control of plot and timing, never letting us linger too long into the logistics of El Campo or the mysterious Grey Hand, but I wish we got to spend more time with Sammie and Adam, or maybe even know about their backstory. The resolution felt a bit unbelievable because there's so few interactions between them. Adam served as Sammie's best man? How did that go??
